Miley Cyrus Singing "Malibu" for the First Time on TV Will Move You to Tears

Some 10 days after dropping "Malibu," Miley Cyrus gave the sweet song its TV debut on Sunday at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. Stepping out in a white crop top and matching shorts, Miley performed a stripped down country version of the song after being introduced by proud family members, dad Billy Ray and sis Noah, who could barely contain her excitement about the fact that Miley was wearing pants for the first time in years.

Miley was pretty much in tears by the end of the performance, likely overwhelmed by the song and the subject of the song: Liam Hemsworth.

As she previously revealed to Billboard, she and Liam had to "refall" for each other after rekindling their romance and getting engaged again. She wrote the song while on her way to The Voice some time after. "They're going to talk about me if I come out of a restaurant with Liam. So why not put the power back in my relationship and say, 'This is how I feel'?"
